Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, that one percent reduction exercise caused us to look again at all the different areas of the department, and the decision was made that it was easier to take one percent of a reduction or take some funds from a program that has yet to start than it is to look at if we could avoid it taking funds from an already up and running position. I just point out that this commitment is for this year, but the budget for next year is back up to $359,000, or $360,000 for next year. So this will allow us to get a good start and we'll be able to build on it in the coming years. Thank you.
